 ## Usage
-To run `BLM-py` first specify your design using `blm_config.yml` and then run the job either in serial or in parallel by following the below guidelines.

  - `batch*`: There may be several jobs with names of this format. These are the "chunks" the analysis has been split into. These are run in parallel to one another and typically don't take very long.
  - `results`: This code is combining the output of each batch to obtain statistical analyses. This will run once all `batch*` jobs have been completed. Please note this code has been streamlined for large numbers of subjects but not large number of parameters; therefore this job may take some time for large numbers of parameters.

-#### Running an analysis in serial

-To run an analysis in serial, ensure you are in the `BLM-py` directory and once you are happy with the analysis you have specified in `blm_config.yml`, run the following command:
-
-```
-fslpython -c "import blm_serial; blm_serial.main()"

-The commandline will then tell you how much progress is being made as it runs each block.
